Our Scottish Connections - Bill and Rob - 24 October 2008



These two walked all over Dundee, and made more friends in the few days they were here than ayone else. Bill Stirling - Postie to his friends- from the Scottish town of Forfar - presented me with a collection of pipe music not heard at History's Walk since the times of Simon Strachan and his swirling pipes woke us up in the mornings.

Bill presented a Forfar calendar and newspaper to the Wades of Forfar farm , which was named after Bill's town. The two guys made a lot of friends in Dundee, and presented the local Moths with a photograph and inscription of the WW2 memorial and a poem written by a 14 year-old school girl.
